by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig For a long time I was oddly resistant to rethinking the way I approached images on my blog. I knew there was a better way than the method [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig The biggest complaint I hear from writers is that there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all that we need to do. Tasks facing writers [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig Some of my more popular posts have to do with something pretty ordinary and (unfortunately) boring … process. Everyone’s process for writing and publishing books is different. Maybe [...]

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig This is my third post on pre-orders. As you might remember, I wasn’t much of a fan of them when I tried them (over much of 2016). This [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig Sometimes I think that we need something to spur us on and get us going. We need something different to help us either grow or keep ourselves engaged. [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig Just a year or two ago, I had so much that I was trying to multi-task that I got easily overwhelmed. What’s more, I felt really scattered. There were [...]

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig I’ve now written several books in two different series where I took my series characters on the road. There were a few different reasons I wanted to do [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig Sometimes there is so much promo-related stuff to do that it can seem overwhelming. And, once we actually feel as if we get a handle on everything, that’s [...]
By Sarah Juckes, @sarahannjuckes What makes a bestselling book? And how can you, as a writer, ensure that your book is the very best it can be? The answer will differ from genre [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig Here’s an update on promo approaches, platforms, etc. that I’ve been working with. Not only does this type of post help me assess what’s working, hopefully you might [...]

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig It’s Halloween, the perfect time to mull over fear. I read a lot of really scary stuff online. None of it has to do with monsters, either. There [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig Parenting and writing. It can be a challenging combination … or can it? A lot depends on the child/teen in question, the parent’s schedule and non-child stressors, and [...]
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig I used to feel like the sole, income-focused writer in any group I was in. I was the one on any panel hesitantly bringing up ways that writers could make [...]

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig Usually I think of summer as a lazier time when I can leisurely get peripheral writing-related chores completed. I’d put all kinds of things on my calendar to do this [...]

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig As I wrote in this post in April 2015 (a post which landed me immediately on a couple of different podcasts to elaborate), I have not been much of a [...]
